Plenary Address: Have We Changed? Psychoanalytic Education, Treatment, and Diversity in a Changing World

Speakers: Chair & Introducer: Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President (San Francisco, CA) Speaker: Mark Smaller, Ph.D. (Chicago, IL)

If psychoanalysis is to go forward, survive, and thrive for new generations, dramatic change in the field will be essential. Methods of educating students to practice in today’s changing world will demand innovation like never before. In an age where information, human connection and nonconnection travels in seconds, the impact on the field can no longer be denied. This presentation will review recent changes in our organization and profession, and highlight areas that demand new strategies for survival. If new and diverse students, patients, and research are to be attracted to the field, traditional perspectives must welcome innovation that will enrich psychoanalytic ideas and practice. Strategies to facilitate change will be described with direction toward implementing critical change.

Educator’s Symposium: Evolving Child Psychoanalytic Practice Within Local to Global Community Systems

Speakers: Chair: Ann Marie Sacramone, M.S.Ed., L.P. (NY, NY) Presenter: Edward Eismann, Ph.D. (Bronx, NY) Discussant: Neil Altman, Ph.D. (New York, NY)

This symposium, sponsored by the APsaA Schools Committee, co-chaired by John S. Tieman, Ph.D. and Tillie Garfinkel, M.Ed., will consider evolving ideas of social psychoanalytic practice with children in settings ranging from local (classroom, neighborhood, and village) to global community systems. Three analysts will describe child treatment models that depend on the analyst working in concert with the child’s social systems. Tracing change in the child, community and analyst, participants will ponder about a relational response to our current socio-cultural harms. Dr. Eismann will narrate and illustrate in video his 49 year community practice in the South Bronx stemming from Freudian, Adlerian, and social support theory perspectives. Ms. Sacramone will offer case material from a child-in-community practice grounded on infancy research, and self-psychology. Dr. Altman will discuss his observations of communities internationally that developed unique culturally based therapeutic approaches.
